WhatsApp update: new features for groups

WhatsApp groups can now be brought together under one umbrella with the launch of a new communities feature.

WhatsApp suggests that neighborhoods, workplaces, and parents with children in the same school may bring groups together as part of a community. You can click on the Communities tab at the top of the Android app or at the bottom of the screen on iOS to get started. You will be able to start a community from the ground up or add existing groups to it.

You will be able to create a parent group where you can manage all your related groups!

WhatsApp is adding some new features to groups, even those not associated with the community. Polls come to the groups, as well as support for encrypted video calls for 32 people, which. In addition, groups now support up to 1024 users.

In addition, unlike Facebook Groups, which can be discoverable on the platform, WhatsApp Communities are hidden. There will not be a search and discovery feature available — you have to be invited to join.
